About our RRSPs

It’s a simple way to save for your future—it’s a plan that lets you get your money together for retirement and helps provide funds to live out your dreams once you do.

The best way to plan for retirement is to see what you can do now. The most you can contribute to your RRSP annually is 18% of your prior year’s qualifying earnings (look at your Canada Revenue Agency Notice of Assessment for the current tax year's amount), plus any unused RRSP contribution from prior years, and less any applicable pension adjustment.
Tax Benefits

A lot of Canadians choose to invest in RRSPs because of the tax benefits:

Tax reduction now: It reduces your taxable income, which can even result in a tax refund (which you can put into your RRSP if contribution room is still available or save or use it however you want).

Tax-sheltered growth: It makes a big difference on your savings rather than investing outside. Your RRSP and the income it earns are sheltered from tax as long as the money stays in the plan. But, RRSP assets will be taxed when withdrawn from your plan at the marginal tax rate (your highest tax bracket) at that time.

TFSA vs RRSP

	RRSP	TFSA
Purpose	Designed to provide income after you retire.	Designed to help you save money for a wide range of goals − not just retirement.
Minimum/Maximum Age Requirement	No minimum age requirement to open, as long as you've earned income and filed a tax return. Must be closed by December 31 in the year you turn 71.	Must be 18 years of age to open. There is no maximum age restriction to close an account.
Tax Deduction	Contributions are tax-deductible, but when you withdraw any funds the amount is taxable.¹	Contributions are not tax-deductible, but all the interest and income earned is tax-free. Any money you withdraw is tax-free too.²
Contribution Limits	Percentage of previous year's earned income, plus previously unused contribution room, less any pension adjustment. You can carry forward any unused amount to the following year or any year after that.

You also can contribute up to the amount of any unused contribution room from previous years. The amount you can contribute is not based on income. Amounts withdrawn (excluding amounts withdrawn because of an over-contribution) may be re-contributed starting the year after the withdrawal.
Over-contributions	Over-contributions are assessed a 1% penalty per month.^3,4	Over-contributions are assessed a 1% penalty per month.^3,4
